Engineering Summer Program
IMPORTANT: The engineering summer program described below took place in 2017.
Unfortunately,funding was not available for this program in 2018.
About the Program
This program was a free one-week summer camp with activities involving 3D Printing, Robotics, Virtual Reality, GPS Tracking, and Circuit Construction. The program is limited to 26 students. Students between the age of 10 and 16 (Grades 5-10) are invited. Students will be
split into groups for some activities by ages (e.g. 10-11, 12-13, 14-16).
Engineering Summer Program
July 3 - July 7, 2017
Monday-Friday, 8:30am to 4:00pm,
All activities will take place on the SFA campus primarily in the science building, math building, and the SFA Arboretum. Students will be dropped off between 8:00am and 8:30am each day at the cul-de-sac (circle drive) between Kennedy Auditorium and the Student Center. Students will be picked up at 4:00pm from the same location.
